Around The Table

We are back around the podcast table, this time with our friend Holly Pendleton.  Holly has served on the R/Women lead team since September 2016.  She shares her faith story in this episode and also what she has been learning about work, rest, and leaning into Sabbath.

We think you are going to love our conversation with Grace Joy as much as we did! Her upbringing in China,  her love for Jesus, and the way she has connected with the women in her ID group, moved us toward Jesus as we sat around our podcast table. Pull up a chair for some great stories.

Did our Gather Event podcast about Listening prayer leave you wanting more of that conversation? If so, you are not alone! Holly joins us at the podcast table to talk further about meeting Jesus and how she is teaching her children to be attentive to his voice.  

As we conclude our season on prayer and move into summer, we take a look back at what prayer practices and tools have shaped our faith and how we hope to continue to be changed through prayer.

We are familiar with speaking to God in prayer.  But how often do we quiet our hearts and still our voices to listen to his? Holly Butler Led us in listening prayer exercises at our final Gather event of the season. Take time to hit pause as often as you’d like during this episode.  We believe that God wants us to grow accustomed to his voice.

How does Scripture become more than black and white words on a page? Teena Dare and Marnie Goheen join us at the table today to discuss the way God “animates” Scripture when we take time to sit with his Word and ask him to reveal his truth.

Riccardo Stewart, lead pastor at Redemption Tempe, joins Caitlin and Lori to talk about prayer practices and specific ways to pray for the church. They answer your questions about prayer and Riccardo ends with a prayer story you won’t want to miss. We think you are going to love this one.

We say “wow” a lot in today’s podcast as Jenny Mullins shares stories of God’s presence and protection and the ways he has emboldened her to ask for big things. For more information about Jenny’s nonprofit, go to www.Advocacy31nine.org.

Learn to compose a blessing - to pray the presence and promises of God over the people you love. This recap of our March Gather event includes sample blessings by Sari, Cassie, and Emma. 

How is Lament different from just being sad? Can we find God in our Lament? Jamie joins us at the table to share her story of grief and the value of lament in healing.

We loved welcoming Susanne to the table today to hear her story of longing, whispers from God, and the miracle of parenthood. Like Hannah from the Bible  God heard and answered the prayers of these believing moms.

Lori joins us at the podcast table to tell us about how keeping a Gratitude journal and becoming a joy-hunter made a difference in her life.

David taught us so much about Confession.  His story, his authentic repentance, and ultimately his restored joy because of God’s mercy is a model for all of us.

Listen to our Spring Gathering as we launched our new study, Lord, Teach Us to Pray.  You will also hear Holly’s interview with Liz where she introduces us to YoungLives. 

We had more to share than what we could fit in our study journal so we decided to meet you here, around our podcast table.  Join us for weekly interviews and conversations throughout our Spring season study, "Lord, Teach us to Pray."
